  • Before dining at Giada's, I read a few mixed reviews. Some people loved it, others thought it was just alright, A LOT thought it was on the pricey side for Italian food on the strip, so I didn't know what to expect going in. All I knew was that I really enjoy Giada's recipes at home, so I was hoping for the best and expecting to dish out a lot of dough by the time it was over. We made reservations on a Monday night - 8:30pm dinner. We arrived a few minutes before and were sat down right on time - despite 1 of the 3 hostess earlier telling us it would be about 10mins. (By the way, before being sat, we popped in the complimentary photo booth that is set up in the waiting area, but I will warn you, the camera is completely out of focus, so your photos WILL be blurry. I guess what can you expect when the photos are free, right?) We did not sit next to the window. My boyfriend made the reservations online and wasn't aware that there were "better" seats to request, but we were sat at a table still in clear view of the beautiful view Giada's has to offer of the strip and the Bellagio water show. (TIP: request to sit next to window that they usually have open) The service was a little slow to begin with. It took maybe around 10mins or so for our waiter to introduce himself, then another 5 to get a drink order in. The drinks didn't show up for a little while longer (longer than you would normally wait) and once our drinks showed up, I was happy. I ordered the "Flash Gordon" and the boyfriend got the "Destroyer." Both were bomb diggity. We started with a few antipasto dishes, ordering "Giada's favorites" which consisted of Bacon-wrapped Dates, Seared Tenderloin Crostini and Baby Stuffed Sweet Peppers. We also ordered the Burrata cheese and the Wood Roasted Mushroom Pizzette to start. All were tasty, but nothing absolutely spectacular. For my entree, I ordered her special shrimp and lemon linguine. The shrimp were huge and the pasta was delightful. But again, nothing spectacular. Dish was simple and something people could easily make at home. For dessert, I was pretty full, so I ordered a coffee (which was yummy) Overall, I would give Giada's three and a half stars. Food was good, but for the price and semi-decent service, I'd rather have stayed home and cooked something equivalently delicious, for a third of the price.
